Forms part of the Claims Conference International Holocaust Documentation Archive at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This archive consists of documentation whose reproduction and/or acquisition was made possible with funding from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.

Source of acquisition is the Bundesarchiv, Germany, Record Group R 22. German authorities withdrew many files from this collection prior to shipping it to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. See a list of the files that were removed. The ministry's files from the period prior to 1934 were held in the Deutsche Zentralarchiv in Potsam during the period 1945 to 1990 and as of Sept. 2001, had not been reproduced in microform. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's International Archives Project purchased the microfiche from the German Federal Archives in Berlin, Germany, in Oct. 1999 and transferred to the Musuem Archives in Mar. 2000.
